Entocort Question??

[Starla86]

So I have been on 9mg of Entocort for almost two months but for the past two weeks I am having these uncontrollable sugar cravings. All I want to eat is sugar, any and all forms of sugar. I wake up in the middle of the night for brownies or chocolate bars, it doesnt matter as long as the main ingredient is sugar. My dr said its a side effect and that I need to be careful so that my sugar level doesnt get out of control and I develop diabetes, but right after saying that she tells me that if I can handle sugar to keep it up in moderation bc I am in desperate need of some weight gain. (100lbs and 5'5") I have given up so many of my favorite foods and it seems that right now Im doing ok with just sugar. Has anyone else experienced this? Oh and to all the remicaders, how many are still on steroids after starting Remicade? I have my first infusion on friday 3/25 and am really hoping to get off the Entocort. Thanks for reading

Oooooh this explains it! I've been on Entocort for a few weeks, and I'm eating all the candy I can find, then going out to buy some more. I wondered what got my sweet tooth going! I guess this is no help for you, but you have sure helped me.
